Boston-School Holiday-Slavery

Terrorists want to disrupt normal society and put fear into
ordinary people that’s what they wanted to do in Boston and they succeeded.
Jeremy Clarkson wrote an article called Keep Clam and Carry On America. This was borrowed from our WW2 government information
leaflet. This is what we Brits do quite excellently but we have been
under attack from foreign powers and terrorists since WW2. The IRA being the
main enemy and it was the people in Boston who gave them a lot of funding. The
US has been relevantly safe country except for their internal nut cases and
their attitude to guns but sadly they must prepare themselves for more terrorists’
attacks. So when people moan about places like Guantanamo Bay they should
remember they are the people who want to destroy democracy,.

Should School Holidays be shorter? At first I said yes but
not so sure now, our education over the last several decades has a lot to be
desired, the over emphasis on academic qualifications has always favoured the
more intelligent and those from Middle class families. I left school at 15 in
1965 and came out with no formal qualification but with a better-rounded
knowledge then any 17 year old of today. People like my brother went on to
College to get his O & A levels I went into becoming an Agricultural
Apprentice and gained County, City& Guilds, NCA qualifications, this was
after I left school, mind you this was in a time of 100% employment, with
foreigners not stealing our jobs. I believe the emphasis should be on Reading,
Writing and Arithmetic (3 R’s) if every child had a good grasp of these when
they leave School they can further there own education, Plus I think they
should learn History of the UK, some say this produces a insular approach to
our country, that is rubbish as our History scans the World, this includes
learning and understanding other cultures. If you do not understand our past
you will never understand our future, we also need to understand Christianity
before being taught any other religion, our laws, ethics, morality is based on
Christianity even if you do not believe in God this knowledge is still
important and finally we must have a grasp of Geography especially has we all
become more Global. I would favour extending the School day; back in the 1960’s
it was 9am till 4pm maybe 8am till 1pm academic studies afternoons would be
Sport, Arts etc. What we should not do is to alter the School day and School
Holidays just to suit those professionals who think of their children as a
commodity and fit them round their Job

I should been in Belgium this morning to support our Judo
Team but overlaid and missed the bus first time this has ever happened in 58
years of Judo

Listened to Radio this morning and tried the Sunday Service
but sorry the way these priests, vicars talk is so boring no wonder people do
not go to church. Also on this morning there was a feature on slavery in
Eritrea, you would not believe in this day and age there is still slavery. Us
Europeans are forever being slated for having slaves from Africa hundreds of
years ago but these people who continue to blame us instead should be
complaining about the past they should be campaigning for those in Africa who
are slaves and owned by other Africans.
